Sodium reacts to chlorine and gives NaCl. The balanced reaction is given below:

2Na + Cl₂→ 2NaCl. Two moles Na reacts with one mole Cl₂ and produces two moles of NaCl. Atomic mass of Na= 23, Molar mass of Cl₂= 71, molar mass of NaCl=58.5.

So, 46 g Na reacts with 71 g of Cl₂ and produces (2 X 58.5)g = 117 g of NaCl. As per question Na reacts completely which means Na is the limiting reagent. So, number of moles of Na reacts = number moles of NaCl produced.

NaCl produced= 819 g= (819/58.5) moles= 15.69 moles. Therefore, 15.69 moles = 15.69 X 23 g=360.87 g of Na reacted.

If the amount of gas and volume are constant and you double the temperature of the gas, pressure halves

Lapatulllka [165]

Explanation:

if we fix the temperature, we are just left with PV = constant for the gas law. So, in this situation, if the volume is doubled, the pressure must go down by one-half. And vice-versa. The simplest illustration of this would be a cylinder with a plunger on one end: if you push the plunger in so that the volume of the cylinder is halved and the temperature remains constant, then the pressure will double.

Write the net ionic reaction for the following double replacement reaction:

Schach [20]

Net ionic equation

Cu²⁺(aq)+S²⁻(aq)⇒CuS(s)

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Double-Replacement reactions. Happens if there is an ion exchange between two ion compounds in the reactant to form two new ion compounds in the product

In the ion equation, there is a spectator ion that is the ion which does not react because it is present before and after the reaction

When these ions are removed, the ionic equation is called the net ionic equation

For gases and solids including water (H₂O) can be written as an ionized molecule

Reaction

CuSO₄(aq)+Na₂S(aq)⇒CuS(s)+Na₂SO₄

ionic equation

Cu²⁺(aq)+SO₄²⁻(aq)+2Na⁺(aq)+S²⁻(aq)⇒CuS(s)+2Na⁺(aq+SO₄²⁻(aq)

spectator ions : 2Na⁺ and SO₄²⁻

Net ionic equation

Cu²⁺(aq)+S²⁻(aq)⇒CuS(s)

How many molecules are in 3.50 moles of H2O

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

2.11 x 10²⁴ molecules.

Explanation:

It is known that every 1.0 mole of a molecule contains Avogadro's number of molecules (NA = 6.022 x 10²³).

Using cross multiplication:

1.0 mole of H₂O contains → 6.022 x 10²³ molecules.

3.5 mole of H₂O contains → ??? molecules.

∴ 3.5 mole of H₂O contain = (3.5 mol)(6.022 x 10²³) = 2.11 x 10²⁴ molecules.

Identify each of the following household substances as a strong electrolyte, weak electrolyte, or non-electrolyte: salt solution

wolverine [178]

Answer:

Electrolytes are substances that can ionize in water. They could be acids, bases or salts as long as they give ions when they dissolve in water.

Explanation:

Strong electrolytes completely ionize when dissolved in water, leaving no neutral molecules. The strong electrolytes here are: salt water, baking soda (NaHCO3) solution.
Weak electrolytes do not completely dissociate in solution, and hence have a low ionic yield. Examples of this would be vinegar and bleach (which could be sodium hypochlorite or chlorine, which are weakly dissociated).
Non-electrolytes will remain as molecules and are not ionized in water at all. In this case, sugar solution is a non-electrolytes, even though sugar dissolves in water, but it remains as a whole molecule and not ions.
